Redbreast cask strength neat  Exploring the nuances of this Irish single still offering. Yes it is different than the normal 12 year old Redbreast. I'm finding I "chew" a small sip to extract all the amazing subtleties on the tongue Addendum: It is Batch B1/13 which is the third batch the distillery has released; this one in 2013.This message has been edited.

BK, It is interesting to note that there appears to be a gradual increase in strength (ABV) among the batches thus far: B1/11 is 57.7% B1/12 is 58.6% B1/13 is 59.9% 120 Proof is a damn site different than 80!

Tried our first batch of mead tonight. Started it the 5th of November. Interesting stuff, I thought it would be much sweeter. __________________________ Writing the next chapter that I've been looking forward to. | |||

Springbank 17 Single Cask (Fresh Oloroso Sherry Cask).  
Ha! Yes, my friend, going from 40% ABV to nearly 60% ABV can be a fairly significant transition if you don't take that particular trip on a regular basis!  FWIW, I've seen similar increases/fluctuations with annual batches of certain cask strength expressions. Laphroaig 10 Original Cask Strength is a good example. A couple of years back, it was bottled with an ABV of 55.7%. IIRC, a subsequent batch was bottled with an ABV of 57.2%. In 2014, Batch Six was bottled at 58.0% ABV. We'll see what the number is with this year's batch before too much longer. I, for one, am happy to see whisky distilleries offering more and more "tried and true" expressions of late. More cask strength offerings are always welcome, especially if the spirit is non-chill filtered and contains no artificial coloring/flavoring agents. -BK "If it's all the same to you, I'd really prefer to visit the range." | |||

Since learning from this site that only degenerates drink alcohol and the fine upstanding people smoke pot, I'm being a degenerate tonight and opened up a bottle of Francis Coppela Merlot.

It is not sufficient to be degenerate. Thou most be an high-falutin' degenerate. Drink syrah. "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye".

I like a good Syrah, but didn't have any here, been a long time since I bought a bottle of anything and Syrah is often too dry for a lot of women to drink so I don't buy it often. Nothing high faluting about it though unless you go with a port maybe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "The problem with our Liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's that they know so much that isn't so."
